Sex Party Rises Again

The Australian Sex Party was re registered again today by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC). The party had been de registered in May following a much publicised dispute over the way in which party membership numbers were estimated by the AEC.

The party's founders, Fiona Patten MLC and registered officer, Robbie Swan, said the exercise had shown them that AEC staff were a hard working and diligent group of public servants who had been completely hung out to dry by successive federal governments.

Allow Indigenous Traditions at all Games

Upper House Member for Northern Metropolitan and Leader of the Australian Sex Party, Fiona Patten, has called on the AFL to examine the possibility of incorporating indigenous openings at all AFL games, something similar to a ‘Haka’ as a way of celebrating our indigenous heritage and reducing racist and bullying behaviour.

“We formally acknowledge the traditional owners of a place and hold welcome to country ceremonies at a wide range of social functions, even the opening of parliaments, so why not extend this developing tradition to sport,” Ms Patten said. “The whole issue gathered around Adam Goodes has only come about following his ‘war dance’ – which was actually more like a finely tuned and beautifully executed modern dance routine than anything else”, she said. “I think that if AFL teams were allowed to develop these short routines celebrating indigenous culture before a game then spectators would become more tolerant.”
